Upcoming Webinar: Reviewing the Latency Landscape and the Next Generation of Ultra-Low Latency Infrastructure

17 September 2026

Date: 17 September 2026
Time: 10:00am ET / 3:00pm London / 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 minutes

Ultra-low latency is no longer the preserve of a handful of proprietary trading firms. As new asset classes electronify, data volumes surge, and regulatory expectations around execution quality and resilience tighten, the performance demands on trading infrastructure are broadening across sell-side desks, electronic market makers, and an expanding range of buy-side participants.

The technology landscape is shifting in parallel. FPGA-based hardware acceleration now delivers sub-microsecond, deterministic performance that software-only architectures cannot match. But the challenge for most firms is not accessing speed. It is deploying and scaling that speed across venues, asset classes, and geographies without compounding complexity or cost. The question is no longer just “how fast?” but “how fast, at what scale, and with what level of control?”

This A-Team Group webinar will bring together practitioners and technology specialists to assess where the latency landscape stands today and where it is heading, examining infrastructure choices, the evolving role of hardware acceleration, and how to architect platforms that deliver both performance and adaptability.

Register for this webinar to understand:

  • The current state of the latency landscape: who needs ultra-low latency, for what strategies, and across which asset classes
  • How FPGA acceleration and hybrid hardware/software architectures are redefining the performance envelope
  • The operational challenges of deploying and scaling ultra-low latency infrastructure across multiple venues and regions
  • How regulatory drivers – including DORA, MiFID II best execution, and algorithmic trading requirements – are shaping infrastructure decisions
  • Build vs. buy: the economics of in-house FPGA development versus vendor-delivered platforms, and how to future-proof the technology investment

This session is designed for technology and trading infrastructure leaders within financial firms, including: CTOs, Heads of Electronic Trading, Trading Infrastructure Architects, Low Latency Engineering Leads, Heads of Execution Services, and Network/Connectivity Engineers.
